ZoomVDI
ZoomVDI is the macOS Zoom Virtual Desktop Infrastructure client used to join meetings and use Zoom Workplace features in supported VDI environments.
What is ZoomVDI?
ZoomVDI is a Zoom Workplace client for virtual desktop infrastructure environments on macOS. It is designed for people who sign in to a remote desktop or published desktop through platforms such as Citrix, VMware Horizon, Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, and Amazon WorkSpaces, while keeping Zoom meetings and calling usable in that setup. The app provides the familiar Zoom meeting interface inside the virtual desktop session and works with a local VDI plugin to improve audio and video handling. Common use cases include enterprise remote work, call center desktops, thin-client deployments, and managed corporate workstations where Zoom runs inside a hosted Windows desktop instead of as a standard local desktop app. Compared with a regular Zoom desktop install, the VDI edition is tailored for compatibility, performance, and policy-controlled deployments in business environments.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
ZoomVDI is legitimate business communication software for managed virtual desktop environments. It may use normal meeting-related access such as microphone, camera, notifications, and network connectivity, and in some setups it works with a local VDI plugin to optimize media performance. That behavior is expected for its purpose. Keep it updated through your organization's standard software process, and only remove it if you no longer use Zoom in a VDI or remote desktop workflow.
Recommendation: Keep ZoomVDI if you use Zoom through a company-hosted virtual desktop, remote desktop, or thin-client environment. If you only use the regular Zoom desktop app on your Mac and never join Zoom from a VDI session, this app is optional and can be removed without affecting unrelated macOS features.
